Thank you Febs, and nls.  I was probably mistaken in looking at the pdf instead of the online version of the manual, between which there is a small discrepancy.
Please point out the discrepancy, so we can fix it.

Sorry, I misread, I thought you meant "Playlist View" rather than "Playlist Menu"
It was mainly my fault for not calling it by it's proper name of "Playlist submenu."  Sorry.

I hate to continue my mistaken digression, so this is my last tangent statement in this thread.  
LinusN,
I was mistaken about it being a "discrepancy."  There are two different parts, the Playlist Submenu (4.1.3) and "Working with playlists" (4.4),  that are redundant in many ways, and can be consolidated to be more clear.  My mistake was that I read a different part of the manual that regards the subject, but does not explain in detail.  I am currently correcting the issue, and when I have something to show for it, I will apply my suggestions (and files) to flyspray for evaluation by more qualified people.  I figure if it's something I can do, I'd like to help.  I just hope we get someone to start programming the requests in this thread!  ;D

Pablored, ruberglove's patch currently does not support the ipod. I don't have an ipod, but i could attempt to get it working if you'd test.

I currently use both the click insert patch and left to wps. I love both. Why we can't just have a menu option to toggle them on/off is beyond me. Until then, i'll keep patching, hoping, and waiting.

goffa: That would be great!  Sounds like you have similar ideas with navigation.  I will have to either get set up on my mac for compiling or build another linux box for a development/compile environment.  Ironically, the reason I got a mac was to stop me messing under the hood of the OS so to speak, I get a little caught up in coding/theming and lose days.  

With Rockbox I can imagine a more modular future, with plentiful compile time options.  Imagination is free and easy.

I updated the patch for the ipod. Test it and let me know if it works. I got it to compile at least

Oh yes, working on my Nano.  Thanks.  I like the user configurable button, means it is all optional.  

I thought I was having a slight issue, but then I realised I had not re-enabled the recursive directory adding option.  Doh.  All great so far, will test more over the next few days.  

The added bonus is it has forced me to get the dev environment sorted, which was a piece of cake on a mac... the only additional step was a symbolic link from gmake -> make.  And then the automatic script worked fine.  

I can see i'm going to enjoy patching and tinkering.

I've just noticed it does not save the status of the centre button after shutdown.  It reverts to the original functionality which is a bit of a problem.

add it to settings_list.c for that

Using PMs to annoy devs about bugs/patches is not a good way to have the issue looked at.

I think I might go mad if pushing right didn't go up the directory structure and select a file any more. I only ever use right for this function and never the Navi key.

I would personally rather not have the insert key function at all than have 'right' insert and 'Navi' select (that's for my H140 anyway)!
The other way around (as in Rubbergloves click insert patch) I would love, but I'd be much happier leaving it as it is than messing with the 'right' key.

right is touchy, you'd only want it  to be  insert from the lowest level.

It would be nice to be able to customize that as well though.  But only under the circumstance that there was a queue and play immediately option in the menu of options.

Select still erases the current playlist. But having center is more important than fighting to have both configurable at this point

I've actually spoken in favour of Select selecting and Right inserting in the past (right's MUCH easier to accidentally hit on say H100 series anyway, but also easy to hit multiple times quickly for inserting several files).

That has my vote  ;)
